Perhaps a full-fledged font-path is in order? Which can default to
['.', $pyd_directory, '\windows\system\fonts', '/usr/share/fonts/truetype',
'/usr/lib/X11/fonts/SomethingOrOther'] (with path seperators properly
joined with os.path.join, of course). If you really wanted to, you
could probably hack a way to find X's current font path (if using the
X11 display driver). There are also a growing number of programs that,
like pygame, use a truetype library to render fonts instead of depending
on X to do it (usually because X doesn't antialias), one could see if
there's any standard among those programs about where to find fonts...
